1-Wire Communication with a Microchip PICmicro Microcontroller
Abstract
Several of Maxim's products contain a 1-Wire® communication interface and are used in a variety of applications. These applications may include interfacing to one of the popular PICmicros® (PICs) from Microchip. To facilitate easy interface between a 1-Wire device and a peripheral interface controller (PIC) microcontroller, this application note presents general 1-Wire software routines for the PIC microcontroller, explaining timing and associated details. This application note also provides an included file that covers all 1-Wire routines. Additionally, sample assembly code is included, which is specifically written to enable a PIC16F628 to read from a DS2762 high-precision Li+ battery monitor.
Introduction
Microchip's PICmicro microcontroller devices (PICs) have become a popular design choice for low-power and low-cost system solutions. The microcontrollers have multiple general-purpose input/output (GPIO) pins, and can be easily configured to implement Maxim's 1-Wire protocol. The 1-Wire protocol allows interaction with many Maxim parts including battery and thermal management, memory, iButton® devices, and more. This application note presents general 1-Wire routines for a PIC16F628 and explains the timing and associated details. For added simplicity, a 4MHz clock is assumed for all material presented, and this frequency is available as an internal clock on many PICs. Appendix A of this document contains an included file with all 1-Wire routines. Appendix B presents a sample assembly code program designed for a PIC16F628 to read from a DS2762 high-precision Li+ battery monitor. This application note is limited in scope to regular speed 1-Wire communication.
General Macros
To transmit the 1-Wire protocol as a master, only two GPIO states are necessary: high impedance and logic low. The following PIC assembly code snippets achieve these two states. The PIC16F628 has two GPIO ports, PORTA and PORTB. Either of the ports could be set up for 1-Wire communication, but for this example, PORTB is used. Also, the following code assumes that a constant DQ has been configured in the assembly code to indicate which bit in PORTB is the 1-Wire pin. Throughout the code, this bit number is simply called DQ. Externally, this pin must be tied to a power supply through a pullup resistor.
OW_HIZ:MACRO
;Force the DQ line into a high impedance state.
BSF STATUS,RP0 ; Select Bank 1 of data memory
BSF TRISB, DQ ; Make DQ pin High Z
BCF STATUS,RP0 ; Select Bank 0 of data memory
ENDM
OW_LO:MACRO
;Force the DQ line to a logic low.
BCF STATUS,RP0 ; Select Bank 0 of data memory
BCF PORTB, DQ ; Clear the DQ bit
BSF STATUS,RP0 ; Select Bank 1 of data memory
BCF TRISB, DQ ; Make DQ pin an output
BCF STATUS,RP0 ; Select Bank 0 of data memory
ENDM
Both of these snippets of code are written as macros. By writing the code as a macro, it is automatically inserted into the assembly source code by using a single macro call. This limits the number of times the code must be rewritten. The first macro, OW_HIZ, forces the DQ line to a high-impedance state. The first step is to choose bank 1 of data memory because the TRISB register is located in bank 1. Next, the DQ output driver is changed to a high impedance state by setting the DQ bit in the TRISB register. The last line of code changes back to bank 0 of data memory. The last line is not necessary, but is used so that all macros and function calls leave the data memory in a known state.
The second macro, OW_LO, forces the DQ line to a logic low. First, bank 0 of data memory is selected, so the PORTB register can be accessed. The PORTB register is the data register, and contains the values that are forced to the TRISB pins if they are configured as outputs.
The DQ bit of PORTB is cleared so the line is forced low. Finally, bank 1 of data memory is selected, and the DQ bit of the TRISB register is cleared, making it an output driver. As always, the macro ends by selecting bank 0 of data memory.
A final macro labeled WAIT is included to produce delays for the 1-Wire signaling. WAIT is used to produce delays in multiples of 5µs. The macro is called with a value of TIME in microseconds, and the corresponding delay time is generated. The macro simply calculates the number of times that a 5µs delay is needed, and then loops within WAIT5U. The routine WAIT5U is shown in the next section. For each instruction within WAIT, the processing time is given as a comment to help understand how the delay is achieved.
WAIT:MACRO TIME
;Delay for TIME µs.
;Variable time must be in multiples of 5µs.
MOVLW (TIME/5) - 1 ;1µs to process
MOVWF TMP0 ;1µs to process
CALL WAIT5U ;2µs to process
ENDM
General 1-Wire Routines
The 1-Wire timing protocol has specific timing constraints that must be followed to achieve successful communication. To aid in making specific timing delays, the routine WAIT5U is used to generate 5µs delays. This routine is shown below.
WAIT5U:
;This takes 5µs to complete
NOP ;1µs to process
NOP ;1µs to process
DECFSZ TMP0,F ;1µs if not zero or 2µs if zero
GOTO WAIT5U ;2µs to process
RETLW 0 ;2µs to process
When used in combination with the WAIT macro, simple timing delays can be generated. For example, if a 40µs delay is needed, WAIT 0.40 would be called. This causes the first 3 lines in WAIT to execute resulting in 4µs. Next, the first 4 lines of code in WAIT5U executes in 5µs and loops 6 times for a total of 30µs. The last loop of WAIT5U takes 6µs and then returns back to the WAIT macro. Thus, the total time to process would be 4 + 30 + 6 = 40µs.

The start of any 1-Wire transaction begins with a reset pulse from the master device followed by a presence-detect pulse from the slave device. Figure 1 illustrates this transaction. This initialization sequence can easily be transmitted by the PIC, and the assembly code is shown below Figure 1. The 1-Wire timing specifications for initialization, reading, and writing are given above in Table 1. These parameters are referenced throughout the rest of the document.
Figure 1. 1-Wire initialization sequence.
OW_RESET:
OW_HIZ ; Start with the line high
CLRF PDBYTE ; Clear the PD byte
OW_LO
WAIT .500 ; Drive Low for 500µs
OW_HIZ
WAIT .70 ; Release line and wait 70µs for PD Pulse
BTFSS PORTB,DQ ; Read for a PD Pulse
INCF PDBYTE,F ; Set PDBYTE to 1 if get a PD Pulse
WAIT .430 ; Wait 430µs after PD Pulse
RETLW 0
The OW_RESET routine starts by ensuring the DQ pin is in a high impedance state so it can be pulled high by the pullup resistor. Next, it clears the PDBYTE register so it is ready to validate the next presence-detect pulse. After that, the DQ pin is driven low for 500µs. This meets the tRSTL parameter shown in Table 1, and also provides a 20µs additional buffer. After driving the pin low, the pin is released to a high-impedance state and a delay of 70µs is added before reading for the presence-detect pulse. Using 70µs ensures that the PIC samples at a valid time for any combination of tPDL and tPDH. Once the presence-detect pulse is read, the PDBYTE register is adjusted to show the logic-level read. The DQ pin is then left in a high-impedance state for an additional 430µs to ensure that the tRSTH time has been met, and includes a 20µs additional buffer.
The next routine needed for 1-Wire communication is DSTXBYTE, which is used to transmit data to a 1-Wire slave device. The PIC code for this routine is shown below Figure 2. This routine is called with the data to be sent in the W register, and it is immediately moved to the IOBYTE register. Next, a COUNT register is initialized to 8 to count the number of bits sent out the DQ line. Starting at the DSTXLP, the PIC starts sending out data. First the DQ pin is driven low for 3µs regardless of what logic level is sent. This ensures the tLOW1 time is met. Next, the lsb of the IOBYTE is shifted into the CARRY bit, and then tested for a one or a zero. If the CARRY is a one, the DQ bit of TRISB is set, which changes the pin to a high-impedance state and the line is pulled high by the pullup resistor. If the CARRY is a zero, the line is kept low. Next a delay of 60µs is added to allow for the minimum tLOW0 time. After the 60µs wait, the pin is changed to a high-impedance state, and then an additional 2µs are added for pullup resistor recovery. Finally, the COUNT register is decremented. If the COUNT register is zero, all eight bits have been sent and the routine is done. If the COUNT register is not zero, another bit is sent starting at DSTXLP. A visual interpretation of the write zero and write one procedure is shown in Figure 2.

NOP ; Recovery time of 2µs

GOTO DSTXLP
RETLW 0
The final routine for 1-Wire communication is DSRXBYTE, which allows the PIC to receive information from a slave device. The code is shown below Figure 3. The COUNT register is initialized to 8 before any DQ activity begins and its function is to count the number of bits received. The DSRXLP begins by driving the DQ pin low to signal to the slave device that the PIC is ready to receive data. The line is driven low for 6µs, and then released by putting the DQ pin into a high-impedance state. Next, the PIC waits an additional 4µs before sampling the data line. There is 1 line of code in OW_LO after the line is driven low, and 3 lines of code within OW_HIZ. Each line takes 1µs to process. Adding up all the time results in 1 + 6 + 3 + 4 = 14µs, which is just below the tRDV spec of 15µs. After the PORTB register is read, the DQ bit is masked off, and then the register is added to 255 to force the CARRY bit to mirror the DQ bit. The CARRY bit is then shifted into IOBYTE where the incoming byte is stored. Once the byte is stored a delay of 50µs is added to ensure that tSLOT is met. The last check is to determine if the COUNT register is zero. If it is zero, 8 bits have been read, and the routine is exited. Otherwise, the loop is repeated at DSRXLP. The read zero and read one transactions are visually shown in Figure 3.

Summary
Maxim's 1-Wire communication protocol can easily be implemented on Microchip's PICmicro line of microcontrollers. To complete 1-Wire transactions, only two GPIO states are needed, and the multiple GPIOs on a PIC are easily configured for this task. There are three basic routines necessary for 1-Wire communication: Initialization, Read Byte, and Write Byte. These three routines have been presented and thoroughly detailed to provide accurate 1-Wire regular speed communication. This allows a PIC to interface with any of the many Maxim 1-Wire devices. Appendix A of this document has all three routines in a convenient included file. Appendix B contains a small assembly program meant to interface a PIC16F628 to a DS2762 high-precision Li+ battery monitor.
